It’s that time of year. Tinsel, trees, baubles, gift-buying- and goal setting. The temptation is to leave Goal Setting until the beginning of the year (whatever time of year you are reading this blog, by the way, it’s a good time to set goals.) But the reason you might be tempted to leave it until the nearest next January is because you don’t want to set goals at all. Totally understandable. After all. who wants to set themselves up for failure? A challenge; look again at goal setting to see how you can make it work for you, not against you. But an early warning; if you’re serious about making goal setting a powerful force for success it will need the required time and thought dedicated to it.
